Here is a link to a paper recently published where modeling has been
employed to estimate annual bird kills at each of the communication towers
in the USA and Canada.

An Estimate of Avian Mortality at Communication Towers in the United States
and

Subject: Article: rebuttal of opinion piece questioning
ethics of bird banding
It is a pity that the author of the article cited, Marlene Condon, was not
more concerned about the tens, if not hundreds of millions of birds that
are killed every year in the USA by birds hitting buildings and other
man-made structures (US Fish and Wildlife Service figures)
But then, one should never let facts get in the way of a good story.
Cheers,
Carl Clifford
